Sarah Ransome, who gave a victim impact statement ahead of the sentencing of British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell for sex-trafficking, appeared to write communications claiming that the three were filmed by the paedophile financier.

The extracts were flagged by a firm representing Epstein’s lawyer Alan Dershowitz to demonstrate that Ms Ransome manifestly lacks credibility”.

Furore

Andrew stepped down from public life after the furore over his friendship with Epstein and paid millions, on no admission of liability, to settle a civil sexual assault case with Virginia Giuffre, a woman he claimed never to have met.

He was cast out of the working monarchy after Ms Giuffre, who was trafficked by Epstein, accused him of sexually assaulting her when she was 17. The Duke strenuously denies any wrongdoing.
